Elizabeth are some of the major cities in South Africa, and each one has
something different to offer you.
Port Elizabeth is one of the
largest cities in South Africa and is one of the major seaports in the country.
It is also surrounded by beaches as it stretches for some 16 kilometers along
Algoa Bay. Check out SAMREC (South
African Marine Rehabilitation and Education Centre) where they are helping to
save the endangered African Penguin.

course has lush fairways and premier tiered greens. There are also many nature preserves and
museums in the Port Elizabeth area. A great place to stay in Port Elizabeth is
the five-star Singa Lodge in Summerstrand. Singa is a small but luxurious guesthouse/bed
and breakfast with nine luxury suites and three executive suites.
Cape Town holds the distinction
of having the five most visited attractions in South Africa. These five
attractions are Table Mountain, the
Cape Peninsula, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, Robben Island, and the Victoria
and Alfred Waterfront. Luxurious five-star accommodation abound in Cape Town,
including the Taj Hotel Cape Town, the exclusive and very private Ellerman
House, the Westin Cape Town, Cape Grace, and The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa.

also one of the 50 largest metropolitan areas in the entire world. Due to its

major player in the worlds of gold and diamond trade.
Attractions in Johannesburg include the Apartheid Museum and South African
National Museum of Military History. Be sure to use the Gautrain, Africa’s
first world-class rapid rail and bus system. Five-star hotels in Johannesburg
